yes, you are right

Best regards,
Alexei Platonov
I hope we all need to reject some old sterereotypes and look forward for
partnership and cooperation.
If Russia want to establish new RIR, which (according to authors of the
document) could solve specific problems, let them do it! If any country
want to join Russian RIR, we have no right to contradict - it's their
choise. The only problem, that there are no "domestic" LIRs registered in
some CIS countries at all (GE, MD, TM, Tadjikistan), or it's only 1-2
registered (AM, AZ,KG,KZ, UZ) - who will decide on behalf of them)?
On the other hand, nobody could compel 18 Ukrainian LIRs (as well as
Georgian, Moldavian, Chinese etc.) to be served by RosNIIROS instead of
RIPE NCC.
With best regards from "radical and nationalist" :)
Rimas Janusauskas,
Taide Net Hostmaster
